Tess Daly, 50, and Claudia Winkleman, 47, got week three of Strictly Come Dancing 2019 off to a stellar start last night after the professional dancers opened the show with a routine based around the Disney Pixar film franchise. Viewers watching at home were in awe of the blonde veteran of the BBC dance show as she dazzled in a rather fitting dress to celebrate the glitz and glam of the movie world.
Although some fans have often questioned the presenters’ wardrobe choices in the past, the hosts seemed to tick all the boxes last night.
Tess caught viewers attention with a long rainbow coloured gown which shimmered with multicoloured tones throughout the course of the night.
The presenter certainly stood out alongside her co-host Claudia, who donned a black and white polka dot dress with a shoulder on show.
Taking to social media as the show got underway, fans couldn’t help but pass comment on Tess’ appearance as they were sent into a meltdown over the glimmering design.

Stood in front of a gold glittered wall, the presenter was seen swooshing her multi-coloured skirt in a post which used the social media platform’s boomerang feature.
Accompany the post, Tess wrote: “Yes we are DANCING #movienight #strictly,” with an emoji which showed a blonde woman dancing.
Speaking with Hello! about the design of the dress, the host’s stylist James Yardley revealed how the piece was a collaboration with Suzanne Neville.
“Suzanne and I designed this bespoke gown specifically for Movie week,” James told the publication.

The designer continued: “After going through numerous ombré fabric swatches we settled on this delicate pastel pink, green and blue chiffon.
“The design intricately put together by Suzanne Neville and her team, pays homage to the movie dresses of the 1970’s designed by iconic dress makers such as Halston.”
Whilst Tess continued to dazzle, the remaining 14 contestants tried their best to improve on their scores from the previous two weeks.
One such celebrity who managed to do so was former Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher, 35, who is in contention to win the Glitterball trophy this year.
